Well, it won’t be that much of a surprise that I am a bit of a Harry Potter fan. No, not one of those die-hard Potterheads that silence you quicker than a Silencio charm, but I recognise a Muggle when I see one. I know that this is a touchy subject because the second instalment of J.K. Rowlings Fantastic Beasts franchise has not been received well within the Potter community. However, trying to sort my own thoughts on this matter, I will write more generally about this book.

The Web has come a long way. When Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the Web, envisioned the very first foundations of what now is an ever expanding aggregation of hyperlinks, I daresay he did not foresee what kind of transformation he was going to kick off.

Chrome, we need to talk. This probably comes as a surprise, but I want a divorce. This was not an easy decision, I assure you. But it’s been on my mind for quite a while now.

We have been together for a lot of years. Going through all the bookmarks we shared together was a hard one! Damn, did we spend a lot if time on the PHP manual pages^^. We really went through a lot together! Remember when the keys of my keyboard got stuck and you wouldn’t stop playing random trash music on Youtube? Remember the time I screwed around with those fancy React Native debugging tools and you wouldn’t stop slowing us down because you were uncomfortably stuck in the background? Ahhh, good times.

Even-though I’ve been a Web-Designer and Web-Developer for a couple of years, starting out new projects has always been challenging. Which technology stack should I use, which requirements should I tackle first and how the heck should I finish this interface?

This. Happens. Every. Single. Time.

So I started learning from data. As misleading data driven design can be, it gives one a heck of a fast start. That’s why I analyse my personal pages as well – I want to make them better by improving gradually. But which tool should I use? On first sight services such as Google Analytics seem like a great deal: easy to implement, easy to use as well as extensive – and above all “free“. But it does come at a heavy price – your users privacy.
